Abstract

Random exchange nature of Pb0.865La0.09(Zr 0.65Ti0.35)O3 relaxor ferroelectrics was revealed by electro-optic study. Time decay behavior of birefringence was measured after switching off the external bias field, and showed random exchange-type behavior. Specific heat behavior was also obtained from the temperature derivatives of birefringence, and its critical exponent was α=-0.09 as predicted by the random exchange Ising model. We think the random exchange interaction is induced by nonpolar La ions and vacancies.
